It's all good mate, the channel 9 footage from wednesday night didn't show it, it only started getting the light of day around midday yesterday arvo on the pay stations.
Poore has been let off, he should think himself extremely lucky, but more so in the fact that Price wasn't injured more severely from the White punch and then the fall with Waterhouse, it would have been a $hit fight if he further injured a player from a stupid action like what he did. I am sure these guys would be exposed to first aid and so forth by their employers/clubs, what he did inexcusable. Though in saying that, maybe the boys are not exposed to first aid by the clubs, maybe the NRL should look at implementing a basic course for these guys as part of their duty of care, because at the end of the day, the players need to look after themselves and have a basic understanding of what they should do, and it's protecting the players from any further legal ramifications, because as I have said earlier, if Poore put Price in a wheel chair (extreme example, but $hit happens) over something so stupid, Poore would be in a world of $hit, and no one wants to see any person have to go through that either Price or Poore.
It just blows my mind that the judiciary take the hard stance (well sometimes) on dangerous tackles and so forth, but yet are willing to let that incident go through to the keeper. This is not bagging the dragons either, if Thurston or Matt Bowen did something similar, I would want their a$$es kicked royally as well.
On the incident with the fight, I am glad White and Waterhouse got off, if Price wants to put his fists and "bork" to throw one on White's chin, then White has every right to start throwing them. Waterhouse was very unlucky at the time that Price was out cold when he grabbed, it exaggerated his involvement 10 fold and it was just bad timing on his behalf.
Who would have though glass nose had that in him?????????
